The barrels themselves are not upgraded but a Grade 2 with DD barrels would seem to indicate the barrels had been replaced at one point in time.

Austin Hogan donated seven Parker hammer guns to the PGCA just before his demise. One of them was a Grade 2 with two sets of barrels. The second set added by Parker at a later date were beautiful 6-iron DD barrels... but again, they were added at a later date.

They weren’t an “upgrade” per se, but rather, just a set of barrels Parker Bros. had on hand that were used to fill the request. As I recall, they were short like 26” or 24”.
